well, first.... go to an auto store. ask to buy some spark plugs... the will ask you to specify your car so dont worry... if they start asking question about how many cylinders then you should know how ot answer that...

get either 4 trailing spark plugs or 2 lead and 2 trail.

if your looking at the engine bay the plugs are on the right side and they are a ways down there. there are 4 spark plugs, 2 in each rotor housing in a stacked formation (one directly above another). I dont remember what size socket youll need but youll also need a short extention with your rachet. but just pull the wires off the ends of the plugs and then remove them. things are pretty tight down there so to give your self some room, remove the elbow off the throttle body and the pipe to the intercooler that is connected to the elbow.

^ Just like fdfreak says, but keep a few things in mind:
- only pull one plug wire at a time so you don't get them mixed up
- you'll need a smallish wrench to work in that area
- if you absolutely can't get it done from above, it's easier to do it from under the car.
